These showed up in a cardboard envelope, the kind you find hanging on the shelves at your local clothing store. The body-stocking was wrapped around a cardboard sleeve, sealed in plastic. The envelope has a picture of a woman wearing the stockings, a thong and a pair of high heels. They photo-shopped her nipples out of the picture, but she is pretty much still naked. The front side of the envelope shows her front side. The back of the envelope shows her backside. It is not very discreet. But then you wont be using this envelope for storage, so it should be ok. It will get tossed as soon as you take the stockings out.

This is a one size fits most. It states that it will fit anyone between 5'-0'' and 5'-9", and 90 pounds to 140 pounds. My wife is somewhere in the middle of this scale. I could see this sizing being a problem if you where at either end of the sizing scale. This fit my wife pretty well. It could have been a closer fit, if they came in different sizes to match different body types.

These should only be hand washed separately in cold water and drip dry. Also do not use chlorine. They are made from 100% Nylon, says the outside of the envelope. A sticker on the plastic bag containing the stockings say 88% Nylon and 12% Spandex. These are pretty easy to wash. A little soap rubbed on your hands then on the stockings, rinse them off and hang them up on your towel rack on the shower door. And you are done. I hate hand washing clothing. Luckily these don't get too dirty and do not need to get cleaned very often.

These are made in Taiwan. I know, how hard is it to have them sewn here?

These stockings are crotchless. So they can be used for foreplay and left on for sex. No need to take time away from the action to undress. They have a shoulder strap on each side. The diamond netting gets smaller toward the feet and toes. This helps keep your toes inside the stocking, and not poking out. The diamond are pretty small. Un-stretched, they are about 1/2 an inch. When stretched to the max, they are about 1 inch across. The material has a soft silky smooth feeling to it. Although this will give you a good rope burn, if not careful. Too much rough play can and will cause pain. With just light play and wearing it around the town, this should not give you any problems.

They are slightly difficult to put on the first few times. You can not tell the difference between the front and back very well. The only difference is a small tag on the back, between the shoulders up high. These are next to impossible to put on in the dark.

With regular wear, this should last you a while. If you are rough during usage, the seams may tear. The material is strong, but with the diamond pattern there are a lot of weak links that may give out on you. Also things like long toe nails, body jewelry, or other metal objects; could cause the material to snag and rip. The good news is, these are only $8 and easily replaceable.

These fit my wife pretty well. Minus a few little things, these have worked great. I like that they are crotchless, so we can keep them on for the whole session. She has another pair that are not, and they have to come off when it comes time for the main event. But these can come along for the ride. She has not worn them around the town, or out of the house. She could, after all they are just stockings. I suggest if you are going to wear panties with these, wear them on the outside of the stockings. Then you can take them off and leave the stockings on.

We store these in her underwear drawer, and have not had any problems. She has friends that hang them up, saying she should not keep hers in her drawer. Not sure why.

You need to be really careful how you wash these. I made the mistake of not throwing these in the lingerie bag one time, and it got snagged in the washer. The damage was not too bad, but it was noticeable. That has been my only problem with this body stocking.
